Really? just replaying all the Turtles' hits I can think of in my head, I can think of a couple songs by Bonner & Gordon, one by Gene Clark of the Byrds, one by Dylan... but I can't think of any by Warren Zevon. The Turtles did an album called Turtle Soup, on which they wrote all the songs and brought Ray Davies in as producer, which made for an interesting album but no great hits.
Warren Zevon had a great song in the psychedelic period called "Follow Me," recorded by a duo called Lyme and Cybelle. Lyme was Zevon, but I forget Cybelle's real name. I love that song.
